...trying to change the battery on my 07 V8V.

Can anyone help with which pieces of trim you need to remove to get to the bleedin thing??!
My backs killing me, I've taken various pieces of skin off my knuckles and still don't appear to be any closer to it.
I found a 'how to' from the official service book online but it doesn't give any guidance of which actual screws to remove or where they live frown
Any help would be most appreciated.

thanks
Matt
